Assorted crackers, baguette slices, or apple wedges for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a small baking dish or a parchment-lined baking sheet to hold the brie wheel securely during the baking process.
Place the brie wheel on your baking surface. Using a sharp knife, gently score the top rind of the cheese in a crosshatch pattern. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom; you just want to create openings for the honey to seep in.
Spoon the cranberry sauce evenly over the top of the brie. Drizzle the honey over the cranberries and sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans on top. If you are using rosemary, sprinkle it over the nuts for an earthy aroma.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. You want the cheese to feel very soft to the touch and just start to ooze slightly at the sides, but not completely collapse.
Remove the cheese from the oven and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. This allows the cheese to set slightly so it doesn’t run everywhere immediately when cut. Serve warm with your favorite dippers.
